GHOTKI: A middle-aged woman and her brother were found dead under mysterious circumstances in her house in Ghotki district of Sindh province early Monday morning.

Rukhsana Buriro and her brother Uzair Buriro were found dead with their throats slashed with some sharp weapon in Deharki city of Ghotki district.

Police reached the spot after neighbours informed them that children were heard crying inside the house.

The bodies were shifted to Civil Hospital Deharki for postmortem.

Rukhsana was a widowed when her husband Advocate Aslam Buriro was murdered a few years ago over a property dispute.

After Aslam's murder, the widow's house was placed under police surveillance following court orders for the protection of the woman and her children.

However, no police personnel was present outside the house when the incident occurred.
